I wonder of Opie had thought of asking NASA to look into the problem.

I doubt NASA has much to offer but the Navy and perhaps the CIA might
have some deep water capability they could bring to the party.
What ever happened to the Glomar Explorer? That had the heavy lift
capacity to deliver a dome that would not float up. It picked up a
flooded Soviet sub.

I thought of NASA because of their ability to solve unusual problems
quickly. But a solution might come from MIT or Stamford or General
Dynamics or any number of places. I'm only sure of one thing, When a
solution is found, Opie will be out in front taking his bows.



You know, with your skill set, you should be out at the Gulf, oil mop
and bucket in hand. You could wear your old sailor's hat.

I envision an old, out of shape, Popeye the Sailorman trying to swab

Say what?

Envision THIS, cartoon man!
